Two men killed, two badly injured in crash caused by deer, Kane sheriff's office says
The accident occurred about 9:45 p.m. when 18-year-old Vance Peterson, driving a Ford F150 pickup truck westbound on Plank Road, went into oncoming traffic while unsuccessfully trying to avoid hitting the deer, a sheriff's office news release said. He collided head on with a GMC Sierra pickup pulling a trailer holding a skid steer loader.
Peterson's truck was then hit by a Dodge Ram, causing it to catch on fire, the report said.
Peterson was rescued after his pickup's driver-side window was broken out, but he received serious burns and fractures requiring him to be air-lifted to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, officials said.
Two passengers in the GMC — 31-year-old Erick Garcia-Porcayo and 25-year-old Rosalio Porcayo-Porcayowere — were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the truck, identified as 22-year-old Yahir Porcayo-Porcayo, was flown by helicopter to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove.
Both Peterson and Yahir Porcayo-Porcayo are in stable condition, according to the release.
The driver of the Dodge Ram — Baldemar Rodriguez-Lopez, 30 — was not injured.
